Common Applictions for anodized aluminum

Aluminum metal is a good conductor of electricity; the anodic coating is an insulator. Combinations of the two properties can be incorporated into systems that save energy and materials. The metal can serve both a structural and conductive purpose, while the anodic coating insulates the circuit and preserves the structure. This simplifies physical design for electric circuits and saves space and wiring. All of the aforementioned properties of anodizing contribute substantially to a product’s life cycle and reduce energy demands.

Projects that used Anodized Finishes

Anodizing is an environmentally safe electrochemical process that converts the aluminum metal surface into a porous aluminum oxide, ultimately creating an end product whose finish is more durable and weather-resistant. This beneficial result combined with the array of aesthetically pleasing color finishes opens up endless application possibilities for companies who anodize products and components in commercial, industrial, and consumer applications, even jewelry and artwork.

Anodized Art

To achieve the desirable artistic results, Naim Akhtar starts with unsealed aluminum on which he sketches the initial image in a light gray tone using a soft watercolor brush to avoid gouging the microstructural honeycomb-like surface of the soft metal.
